WeChat Mini-Games show serious monetisation muscle
PocketGamer.biz reports Mini-Games revenue came mostly from IAPs, with 68.11% from purchases and 31.89% from ads.

PocketGamer.biz reports 68.11% from purchases and 31.89% from ads, which challenges the lazy idea that instant games are only ad machines. Mini-games are short to access, but the monetisation story is anything but small.
